k t _ FRANCE. b.. ac - • SPIRIT OF THE FRENCH PAPERS OF FRIDAY. The Journal with the Ir. ties journals with Debats taunts the Opposition anner in which they have welcomed the new Ministry FAcceedino• to one of the Tiers Path, and the little . sympathy they hav e s h own for the griefs of that e arty on the oc: c p . ::; sion. It a dd s , th a t if, as is stated, tl) Doctrinaires are itch tyrants, Creeping up on th e if despotism be really CO ontry, the remedy lies with th-, people ; the country can - protest, can elect, and can counteract the evil. The only 'wonder is that it has no,; ; done so already. However, the truth is, that the system of Doctrinaires must be profoundly connected with all the interests and sympathies of France ; for it. has germinated, grown, and fructified on a volcano ; and, with the permission of the Opposition, that volcano is to 'be extinguished by it. The Constitutionnel again asserts that the Doctrinaires 'cannot by any possibility have a majority in the Chamber, and that they know it themselves. It retraces the history of the last session, awl confirms its assertion by showing the poor figure which that party cut on several occasions. The Impartial observes that the first official acts of the Queen of Spain and her new Ministers, after the events of La Granja , have an air of firmness about them that inspires better b-opes for the future fate of that country. It is not, howe-,er, without alarm that he sees the Ministry endea wording to force a second Chamber on the nation ; it is to feared that this measure will produce strong irritation throughout the country, and it is perhaps impossible for the attempt to succeed. At the same time a peerage, even elective, would be of much service to Spain ; and if the Constitution of 1812 were thus mended in its principal 'fault, its future existence might be more confidently hoped for. It must be confessed, however, that the same national enthusiasm which actuated France in 1793 is in vain sought for among Spaniards. The success of the levy of 50,000 now ordered is more to be hoped than expected ; but the decree for the means of paying the dividends due upon the Spanish debt evinces a laudable respect for the previous obligations of the country. It still remains to be seen what effect the news of the French Ministry will have at Madrid ; :and it is to be hoped that the Ministry of the 6th of Sep tember, born under the auspices of non-intervention, will be at least faithful to its motto. It would be a great thing for Spain if only neutrality were observed. The National comments upon the decreed lately pub lished by the Spanish Ministry concerning the new Con stitution of that country, and warns tae Spanish nation against trusting to the Regent, or to, irresponsible Minis ters. That nation, it adds, canne". forget the example of Ferdinand VII., and it may be sure that the Regent will act in the same way, if ever sh e has the opportunity. To the Cortes belongs the ?;itfeguard of the revolution, and they alone can give to tho Ministers authority sufficient to resist the bad intentions of the Queen and the persons by whom she is surrov.nded. The creation of a second Cham ber is contrary to the spirit of the Constitution of 1812, and is evidentlry borrowed from the charters of France and England. I', is not worth while discussing the question of how far well a Chamber is compatible with the reign of a democracy ; but the existence of a second Chamber of Senate in the United States seems to show that such is the case. The Spaniards should take care, however, not to leave the nomination of the Members of this second Cham ber to the Crown ; for if the influence of the Crown should become predominant in that branch of the Legislature, it - would paralyse all the measures that might be displeasing to it, and world speedily bring on another explosion, or would remain master of the field of battle. A Senate named for life is also an institution unfavourable to demo cratic movement ; for in that case the members of it are removed from the influence of public opinion. All these important questions of political organization are shortly to be submitted to the Cortes, composed of only one Chamber. This is as it should be ; in times of revolution the people accept only one guide. The Quotidienne forbodes misfortunes to Queen Chris tina, such as have always happened to Sovereigns kept prisoners by their revolted subjects. People would be much in the wrong if they were to believe in the modera tion of the Spanish revolutionists merely because they have preserved to Maria Christina the title of Regent, and ren der her the outward homage due to that title. It is a comedy that they are playing, but one that will end in blood. They will keep Maria Christina in the midst of them, but merely because they know that Sovereigns who abandon themselves to revolutions become their most useful instruments. The Messager has ,the following :—" Marshal Soult is expected at Paris to-night. We are assured that the Government has already received news of the Marshal's having accepted the War Department. The answer of M. Martin (du Nord) cannot be known till Monday, but the friends of the new Cabinet entertain no doubt of his acceptance. The King held a Council to-day, which took i,,,.. ~,,,iciertair,o ;:.,:s.asnres for Purifying tin, ppr.cnnnp/ ;n the Police Department, M. Gisquet having definitively re signed the office of Prefect, and the nomination of Under Secretaries of State and Secretaries-General for the dif ferent Ministerial departments. It is asserted also that the convocation of the Chambers occupied attention, and that it has been fixed for the last'fortnight of December." It is stated that it is intended to double the number of the Municipal Guards, who are to be divided into compa nies, battalions, and regiAents, defile. The latter will be commanded by a superior officer. They will do King's duty, and be lodger!, in separate barracks, but they are not to have any addit=ional pay. We have received the following details from the camp at Compeigne :---,, The infantry are exercised every day. The tents afford 'out indifferent shelter ; they are close and hot in the day, and cold at night. Each tent contains 16 men, who sleep upon straw, with their heads upon their knap sacks and their feet in a sack. The cavatry are quartered in the surrounding villages within a circuit of four leagues. Provisions are very dear. The inhabitants complain, be cause the officers and men are forbidden to enter the town, except on Sundays. During the continuance of the en campment each superior officer receives an additional pay of sixty francs a month, Captains forty francs, and Lieu tenants and Sub-Lieutenants thirty francs, and the non commissioned officers and men eight centimes a day. A letter of the Ist instant from Madrid, given by the _Me:sager, states that " the Government is sadly embar rassed for money, and this has strengthened the resolu tion, almost generally adopted by the provincial juntas., 0 retail' in their own hands the produce of the tare ,- ,, and the other public revenues, to meet their own war:„ .

The Constitutionnel has the following It was yester day karnt that the new Ministers, having occupied them selv es on the Spanish question in a council of the day be-. fore, had decided that there was no sufficient reason for modifying the policy followed by, the late Cabinet , and that t h e on ly thing to do Was to maintain the stain q , Al though these rumours are creneralliv accreldited,-uwoe . have some difficulty in believing tlbiem. ministr would be a most ex traordinary thing if this new vs ere to refuse to carry into execution the measure thatyi), accession to power.

The emistitutionne/ goes on to observe that explanation s cannot deprive the change of conduct of the Ministers of its character of s t range inconsistency ; and that it clearly results f rom i t that the former Ministers retired for having tr-ken a good view of the Spanish successors question, and that the only come into office from having taken a tad one.

Messrs. Cousin, Madier do Montjau, Mignet, and Martin, were the only persons who knew the precise mo ment of his departure. A number of individuals who had to settle with M. Thiers's accounts of a public and private nature, called to-day, but to no effect at his residences, the Folie St. James and the hotel of Foreign Affairs. M. Thiers has left a quantity of business unfinishOd ; large bundles of paper have been found unopofo bn his desk. Madame Thiers and her mother*, Madame Dosne, were ill when they left, notwithsterng which M. Thiers refused to delay his departurrl for 24 hours. He intends visiting Italy, SwitzerlP:ild, and Germany, but will not proceed to Belgium. as was reported. During the last week, the ex- Minister was "at home" every evening, but his drawing rooms, were almost completely deserted. His colleagues, Messrs. Mottet, Cousin, Mignet, and " the unavoidable" M. Maider de Montjau, were the only persons who fre quented them. M. Sauzet was continually with M. Thiers. Messrs. Sauzet Passy, and Cousin, atcompanied the ex-President, in a private carriage, a distance of about two leagues out of town. The equipages of M. Thiers consisted of two coaches, in one of which were a bed and a portable library, composed principally of the collection of Latin classics, published by M. Panckoucke, and the Pan theon Litteruire.—.Messager. The Correctional Police Court of Versailles, after hear ing M. Salmon, the Attorney-General, in the case of M. 'Pillot, the Director of the French Schismatic Church of the Pecq, and the defence of the latter by M. Ferdinand Barrot, sentenced the accused to six months' imprisonment and costs ; and ordered the dissolution of the Religious As sociation he had formed at the Pecq, near St. Germain en Laye. The conduct of Prussia, whose close connexion with the Cabinet of St. Potersburgh is well known, may in some degree justify the apprehensions excited by the report of the extensive armaments decreed by the last ukase of the Emperor Nicholas. Letters from Berlin refer to a loan which the Prussian Government intends to contract, and respecting which propositions have already been made to M. Rothschild, of Frankfort. The Prussian Cabinet alleges as a pretext for that loan, of which it appears anxious to conceal the real object, financial difficulties of the Govern ment occasioned by a considerable falling off in the public revenues during the last six months of 1885, and the first six months of the present year. The reality of those embarrassments is, however, doubted and in Frankfort the proposition made to the house of Rothschild is the subject of every conversation. Some fears are entertained respecting the destination of that loan and the preservation of general peace. Nevertheless, it is not thought that the Prussian agent, M. Munch Stadler, who is said to be related to M. Munch Bellinghausen, President of the Frankfort Diet, will suc ceed in his mission. The brothers Rothschild are at pre sent too much taken up with the immense liquidation of their father's affairs ; they are, besides, said to have re turned M. Stadler an answer, which would do them great credit, if it were true. The expressed their astonishment to that gentleman at his Government having recourse to Jewish bankers at the very mament it had enacted, against their co-reli g i on i s t s , measures t h at reca ll ed the barbarous intolerance of the middle age. It might happen that this severe but just rebuke, addressed to the Prussian Govern ment, will induce the latter to repeal a decree offensive both to reason and humanity. —La Presse. M. Sauzet is of the late Ministers the one who seems to be most affected by the loss of his portefeuille. The fol lowing words are said to have passed between him and M. de Montalivet, on the formation of the new Cabinet : M. Sauzet (with indignation)—" The Guizot Adminis tration will be the Polignac Administration of the monarchy of July ; its 6th of September will be its Bth of August." M. de Montalivet (smiling)—" Then, M. Sauzet, you will defend M. Persil." mt the lattel7 tefusedfuniets ha Are4.o tililibibied President -)f the Council., iihieli:the btlioAvOtila not relinquish in his 'avour.

M. Isturiz is well known in LOnd',A; lived here for several years, and, unlike th; l , ,lenerality of Spanish Liberals. lie has always sus tained an honourable and a disinterested character. [M. Isturiz is indebted for his preservation to M. Vil liers, who, having occasion to send a courier to Lisbon, gave him a passport under the feigned name of Arthur, as an attache to the British Embassy, which Lord William Harvey, the First Secretary of the British mission, per sonally went to get countersigned by the Portuguese Mi nister. This was an act of great humanity ; as the ex- Premier would have assuredly met the fate oi‘ Qu'esada had he been discovered. It was said at the time that an English gentlttban accompanied Mr. Villiers's courier, but no-one knew him, or could tell his name. On the road M. Isturiz was robbed of some money.] SPAIN. MADRID, AUG. 31.—During the last four days the Government has adopted several measures and published some very important decrees : I. One which renders 40,000 men of the National Guards moveable out of their provinces. By thi s decr ee the efforts of th e num b e rs anxious to contribute by their personal efforts to put an end to the civil war will be allowed fell scope. 2. new levy of 50,000 men is ordered. Regulations are introduced into these two decrees whereby all persons desirous of avoiding to serve are required to pay certain sums in the latter prior to the drawing, as afterwards no exemptions will be admitted. This last arrangement will, it is thought, produce considerable sums without dimi nishing the number of recruits. 3. The Government being eager to profit bo the enthu siasm excited in the provinces by the Juntas, issues orders that the Juntas of armament and defence, charged to effect such object by extraordinary means, without touching the ordinary revenues of the State, shall be associated for the perptite with the provincial deputations. 4, Notice is given to all the authorities to use their ut most efforts to carry forward the mobilization of the Na tional Militia and the new levies. 5. Orders are issued to all persons receiving pensions, &c., from the State, to take the oath to the Constitution, or they will forfeit their rights to such pensions. 6. Several of the Ministries and public offices have been purged of suspicious persons, and others attached to the Constitution named in their room. 7. The distribution of the new levies among the pro vinces has been speedily Aetna. 8. Don Joaquatin Maria Lopez, a young and spirited orator of the Liberal party in the late Estamento of Pro curaderes, has been appointed Under Secretary in the Home Department. This nomination has given satisfaction, par ticularly as in the first 24 hours he effected the removal of upwards of 40 of the agents of the Isturiz Administration, and named decided Liberals in their room. 9. A decree is issued to give notice that in the Home Department none but decided adherents of the Constitution will be employed. Such of those as served in the former period of freedom, but do not preserve their energies, can- Opt expect to be employed. 10. The National Guards are ordered to be re-organised according to the law of the Cortes of the 29th of June, 1822, and their officers are to be elected by it. Inspectors are ordered to be named in each of the provinces, to encou rage and arrange th e N a ti ona l G uar d. 1L 'r most important decrees have been published respecting the raising 200,000,000 reels, by payments in advance of the provinces, in order to meet the increasing ex penditure of the army, and to pay the approaching .divi dends or interests of the debt. Preparations are going forward for electing through all the country the ayuntamientos or corporations, according to the regulations formed by the Cortes in 1821, and a com mittee is to be named to examine which of the other mea sures then sanctioned ought to be now called into practice. Several of the convents of nuns, containing but a small number, have been emptied by the removal of the recluses to others of their own order. SEPT. I.—The courier not having started, lam enabled to state, that the impatience of the public to learn the exact details of the affair at Jadraque is very great. Exagge rated rumours are current, and of course tend to increase that impatience. The details of this affair, as far as I can learn them from good sources, are, that the column of the Queen'S troops which left this capital on Tuesday week, consisting of a bat talion of the provincial Grenadiers of the Royal Guard, an other of the Chasseurs of the same corps, two piece's of can non, and 25 Cuirassiers, having encountered the rebels, showed the greatest eagerness to fight. They were the sol diers whose conduct at the Royal residence of La Granja had produced the change of Government. Brigadier Lopez, who Was at their head, expressed his wishes to delay the contest until other columns of the troops should come up, upon which, with cries of " No delay, no pie making, no wavering." they, although they had.but few officers in whom they could place confidence, demanded to be led forward. At the first onset they took 40 prisoners, and in pursuing their enemy they fell into an ambuscade ; for while Gomez with 1,500 chosen Navarrese kept them in front, Don Basi lio, who, instead of having crossed the Ebro, as was asserted in the Madrid papers, had effected a junction with Gomez, attacked them in the rear. Another small party of insur gents had also come from Arragon. The great object of the rebel chiefs being to obtain possession of the cannon, seven several attempts were made before they succeeded. The Queen's troops lost 500 men. Lopez, with 600 others, is stated to have gained Siguenza. The loss of the Carlists is described as equal to that of the Queen's troops, as the soldiers fought with great desperation. The Queen's troops had but 25 cavalry, while the rebels had upwards of 200. The Minister of War, General Rodil, continues with the column which left Madrid at Alcala, in order to protect the capital, while the other columns mentioned in the of ficial article of last night are in movement towards Jadraque, between which place and Brihuaga the rebels, to the num ber of 5,000 men, still remain. There are said to be some French and Portuguese officers with them. As the garrison of Madrid is with the column at Alcala, the National Guard does the duty of the city, with the ex ception of the mere Royal Guards at the Palace. This movement of the Carlist appears to have awakened the. Government to a sense of the danger which the lying despatches from the Generals in the province of Old Castile had completely disguised. The Gazette of this morning contains some important decrees-Ist, for punishing according to the law of the Cortes of the 17th of April, 1821, all conspirators against the Constituti on an d th e Th rone ; 2d , f or making effective regulations for criminal trials, according to the law of Sep tember, 1820 ; 3d, for authorizing the civil magistrates to grant licenses for the marriage of persons of thepoble caste in certain cases—the caste of Nobles in Spain extends to individuals of old families, however poor and debased, yet they were called on to pay fees for permission to marry ; 4th, for abolishing the system of entails, and rendering property free, according to the law of the Cortes of the 27th of September, 1820. All these arrangements are of course subject to the revision of the Cortes, and those men tioned in yesterday's letter, owe their validation at present to the Committee of Patriotic Donations, and of the Ways and Means for putting down the Civil War, of w hi c h M. Mendizabal has been President since the late resignation of the Marquis of Miraflores. The Government, since the resignation of the latter, has given considerable power to that Committee, which consists of several patriots who de dicate themselves to promote the welfare of the country without fee cr emolument. M. Sauzet (wiiiiaignity)---" And you, my dear Count, you will save him." The King of Naples is said to have given orders to as semble a corps of 15,000 men on the frontiers of the Pon tifical States. The new Russian Ambassador, Count Leon Potocki, was expected in Stockholm. The Augsburg Gazette states that the Grand Duke Mi chael is to proceed to Prague, in order to attend at the coronation of the Emperor of Austria. The Russian Am bassador, M. de Tatischef, will repair from Prague to Warsaw, after the ceremony, and there await the arrival of the Emperor Nicholas. It has been reported in the German circles which are generally well-informed, that the reigning Duke of Bruns wick intended shortly to visit Paris. The object of hi, journey is said to b e a matrimonial negotiation- with one of the daughters of King Louis-Philippe. It is doubtful, however, adds the correspondent, that Prince William will be more successful in Paris than in Berlin and Vienna, as few Sovereigns feel disposed to accede to the reigning Duke's demand, before the difference between him and his brother shall have been adjusted. The Moniteur Algerien, of the 27th ult., states that, notwithstanding the results of the battle of Sikak, Abdel Kader still retained numerous partisans, and kept the province of Oran in agitation. In Consequence, General Letang left O ran on t h e 16th, with a strong column, to scour the country in different directions. That night the troops bimuaeked at the Fig -tree. On the 17th they fell in with a party of Garrabas, of whom they killed two, and took two prisoners, with as many horses. On the 18th it halted for the night near the sources of the river Tlelat. On the 19th the second brigade remained in this position, while the first moved towards the Beni- Amers. The vanguard fell in with some Garrabas, and put them to flight. Soon afterwards it became exposed to a re from the Beni-Amers, who assumed an attitude which induced the Genc-ral to march on till he reached their silos (corn stores), 'which were given up to the auxiliaries. The flocks and.'aerds could not be surprised, but the enemy had two nr..a killed and three horses taken. The chiefs of Aukfd Aly and Sidi Rhanam came in the afternoon to C"..ttleral Letang, who enjoined them to accompany him in the further excursions he intended to make, under the pe nalty of having their corn carried off. He likewise insisted upon their sending provisions to the market of Oran ; con sequently, nineteen oxen and several loads of corn were on the following day brought in to be sold. General Letang intends to continue his excursions round Oran, and thus keep in subjection, or at least in neutrality, such tribes as might otherwise be inclined to take up arms. The Messager has a letter from Bayonne, which says : —" Don Carlos has solicited an intervie-:v with General Harispe. The latter, after apprying; to the Government of M. Thiers for instructions, consented to the desire of the Infante. But Don Carlos having thought proper to fix upon a village on the Spanish territory, near the frontier, for the meeting, it did not take place. General Harispe replied to the Pretender that, as it was he who wanted to see the French General, he ought to give himself the trouble to come to him at Bayonne. Here the affair rested." The Duke del Infantado, who during many months has resided under a sort of surveillance at Guadalajara, arrived yesterday in Madrid. His notorious adhesion to absolute principles, has rendered him much suspected. Several of his best horses, as well as those of other inhabitants of that town, were lately sent to the rebels. THURSDAY AFTERNOON.— Nothing official has been published, for although several despatches have arrived from General Redd, none have come from Siguenza. It is said that General Rodil, finding the division of the army of the north under Brigadier Alaix had attacked the rebels - in the direction ofßrihOagd, has mov e d f rom Al ca l a i n or d er to sT.T.tlt it. The diligence from Guadalajara has left this city. Nothing new from the north. THURSDAY EVENING, Eight o'clock.—General Rodil arrived in this capital at two o'clock this afternoon. The apprehensions of the inhabitants of Madid have passed over. THE SUN, .11AONDONIO11tDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1.836. M. ISTITRIZ. M. Isturiz, the late Prime Minister of Spain, has arrived safely in London, and glad, no doubt, to exchange the quiet and hospitable home of his friend M. Zulueta, for the noisy and dangerous quarter of the Puerta del Sol. We are told that he escaped from Madrid in the disguise of an English messenger, havine. taken =advantage o f a commerc i a l courier being despatched' to Lisbon to accompany him, as couriers are in the habit of doing, with a v i ew to soc i ety or security. Though he contrived to get safely through his political enemies, he had to pay forfeit to plunderers of an other description, equally notorious in Spain, though not. quite so blood-thirsty as the murderers of Q uesa d, I n fact he was robbed within a few miles of the Portuguese frontier, near Badajoz, and lost all his luggage and money. He contrived to raise a supply at Elves, and then passed on to Lisbon, where he remained until the departure of the steamer, his perfect knowledge of the English and French language enabling him to avoid the observation which would be be given to a Spaniard at that particular tmoment.

On Saturday the steam-ship Don Juan, built for the Peninsula Steam Navigation Company, by Messrs. Fletcher and Fearnall, was launched from their building-yard, at Limehouse. This is the largest steam-ship that has yet been con structed in the port of London, her dimensions being as follows : Length of keel ISO feet. Extreme length over all ... 2OO Breadth on deck....... 49 Depth of h01d... _ She presents a deck rather larger than the upper-deck of an 84-gun ship of war, and will be propelled by engines ex ceeding 300-horse power, the cylinder being 67-.3 : inches in diameter, and six feet stroke. This superb vessel is intended to run in the line of steamers established by the above Company from Lon don and Falmouth to Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, Malaga, and back, and from which much benefit has already been experienced in the Peninsular trade. The cabin accommodations of the Don Juan are laid out on an entirely novel plan, and parties wishing to be select will find in her separate cabins, with every convenience, adapted for families or parties, from two up to twenty in number. Indeed this plan which has been too much neglected generally in passage-vessels, is, we understand, to be adopted in all the new vessels of this Company. We witnessed it in the Iberia, another large and splendid new vessel belonging to the Company, which is nearly complete, and will be ready for sea in a few days. The launch of the Don Juan took place at one o'clock in fine style, in the presence of a numerous assemblage. The managers, and a select party of proprietors of the company, and eminent merchants connected with the trade to Spain and Portugal, afterwards sat down to an elegant collation, at Lovegrove's Hotel, Blackwell. Besides the Don Juan and Iberia, another steam-vessel, of 600 tons, will be launched from Messrs. Fletcher and Fearnall's for the Peninsular Company in a fortnight, and we understand they have a vessel nearly ready at Greenock, of dimensions rather larger even than the Don Juan. With these four new vessels, and those already belonging to the company, it is intended to maintain a regular communication with Spain and Portugal once a week. THE ARMV. The King has been pleased to approve of Major-General Sir E. Blakeney, K.C.8., being placed in command of the troops serving in Ireland, with the rank of Lieut.-General in that country from the 26th ult. Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. Charles Grey, M.P., of the 71st Light Infantry, has returned from leave of absence, and re sumed the command of the regiment in Dublin garrison. The Prince Regent transport, having , on board the head quarter division of the 42d. Royal Highlanders, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Middleton, arrived at Ports mouth on the 28th ult. from Corfu, and sailed with the troops on the Ist instant for Leith, where they will be dis embarked, and will occupy quarters in Edinburgh. The depot companies of the 42d have already arrived in Edinburgh from Stirling Castle, and the regiment will be stationed in that city during the approaching winter. The depot companies of the 76th Regiment, under the command of Major Clarke, have arrived at Stirling Castle from Edinburgh, and have replaced the depot companies of the 42d Regiment. The service companies of the 19th Regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Roper, arrived at Buttevant from Cork on the 2d and 3d instant, The company of the 19th, recruiting at Killaloe, arrived at Buttevant on the 6th inst., and the three remaining companies, with the head quarters of the depot, under the command of Captain Stir ling, will arrive this day from Nenagh.

Lieut.-General Sir Edward Blakeney, K.C.8., arrived in town this afternoon to resume the command of the army serving in Ireland. This appointment is one which gives the most general satisfaction. On Friday evening, as the Ebor coach was return ing from Leeds to Wakefield, one of the horses fell down near the Proprietary School, and died from over exertion. While the harness was being taken from the dead horse, a young man named Lockwood rode by at a very furious rate, and coming in contact with a cow, was thrown to a consider able distance; his collar-bone was dislocated, and he was con siderably bruised.— Halifax Express. REPRESENTATION OF BA the event of a vacancy occurring, there will apparently be no lack of can didates. According to the Bath Herald of this day, the Mayor would be supported by the Dissenting interest, if he could be prevailed on to come forward. Mr. Bridges also ranks high in the estimation of the same respectable and influential class. Mr. Bruges, as we stated on Friday, is adopted by the Associa tion which we designated a factitious body, although we do not dispute their claim to the other title which a misprint conferred on the members. " Active interest also," says the Herald, " we know, will be made in the most respectable quarters for the eldest son of a distinguished Peer who has resided many years amongst us, and who will undeniably support the present ministry, if in power, and their principles, if they should be displaced." On Friday the long pending question between the parish of Greenwich and the Commissioners of the Royal Hos pital was brought forward in the Vestry-room, but in conse quence of the number of persons who attended, an adjourn ment took place to the Parochial School-room. Mr. Church warden Smith was called to the Chair. He briefly stated the object of the meeting, namely, to receive the report of a Com mittee appointed on the 25th of March last, to carry into effect the award of the Hon. Charles Evan Law, on the question of property in the Royal Hospital which should be subject to parochial rates. The report having been read, thanks were voted to the Committee for their exertions, and the meeting adjourned for three weeks. The fever, says the Missouri Salt River (Bowling. Green) Journal is prevailing in our country. After repre senting the disease as becoming less fatal than usual, the Salt River Editor gives us the symptoms from which we guess it is somewhat contagious in our own city and neighbourhood. The symptoms are a great restlessness, and inclination to se cure all the land round about them, accompanied with fever, to procure the notes of certain tracts of land lying in the neighbourhood, and generally followed by a dumb ague and sweat, if the patient is anticipated by some more lucky friend in his visit to the land office. According to the tables which have appeared in the State Gazette of Prussia, the whole of the births in that kingdom were, in 1835, 533,215; and the deaths, 380,943. The increase of the population amounts to 100,000 souls, thus distributed through the different provinces : Prussia Proper, 870 ; Silesia, 891 ; Brandenburgh, 967; Poien, 1,270 ; Po merania, 1,273 ; Westphalia, 1,285 ; Prussian Saxony, 1,325 ; and the Rhenish pravinces, 1,372. The entire popula tion of Prussia, on the Ist of January, 1835, was 13,509,917 Bouts. AMERICAN WAGGERY.—Two individuals who went over the Niagara Falls in a small boat some days since, excited more sympathy than the case really called for, as there was very little personal agony in the catastrophe. The suf ferers in this affair were merely a couple of stuffed effigies of humanity—mere men of straw, who had been manufactured by certain wags for a little funny sentimentality on the part of the beholders. These certain varlets who could find it in their hearts to provide such a display of fictitious distress, ought, by all means, to be well sponged under the falls or elsewhere, for their pains.—New York Paper, July 23. ALARMING FlRE.—Between three and four o'clock this morning, a fire broke out in the public-house called the Duke of Kent, and occupied by Mr. King, Peter street, Southwark-bridge Road. Notwithst a ndi n g the hydraulic force of water on the flames, from eight or nine engines, be- longing to the London Establishment, before they were ex tinguished the premises were burned to the ground. The damage done by the devouring element exceeds 6001. Mrs. King, the landlord's wife, is not expected to survive many hours, owing to the injuries she received in precipitating her self from the second fl or window into the street. Unfortu nately the parties are not insured one penny. On Friday last, the neighbourhood of Thames Bank Chelsea, was the scene of considerable bustle and excitement, in consequence of the completion of the buildings belonging to the " United Kingdom Beet-root Sugar Association." Early in the morning the premises were decorated with nume rous flags, and at twelve o'clock the ceremony of laying the first stone of an immense shaft took place. The premises, covering an extent of 50,000 square feet, were completed in the extraordinary short period of six weeks, by Messrs. Cubit. This was accomplished by placing the builders three feet apart around the premises. The whole of the engineers, carpenters, bricklayers, &c., to the number of 300, were regaled with plenty of old English fare. The directors attended to see that all were properly entertained. The shouts of the work people upon the health of the King being given by Sir Francis Desanges, were heard on the opposite side of the Thames. It is confidently expected that this Association will be the means of furnishing employment to many thousand labourers throughout the kingdom. Mr. Raikes Currie, the banker, has come forward on Radical principles for the representation of Northampton, whenever a vacancy occurs there.

The lady, who is of English birth, is the wife of a :dajor Masson, an cfficer in the Hanoverian service, and the companion of her flight Lieutenant F. Campbell, R. M., a widower. The injured husband, who was led to believe that his wife was on a visit to her mother, was a stranger to the circumstance until some days had elapsed. On proceeding to London to join her he traced Madame Masson to a lodging in Regent-street, where he discovered her in company with Lieutenant Campbell, with whom she was then residing. The vith nature of the interview can be well imagined ; it ended . Major Masson calling upon Lieutenant Campbell to meet in the field, an invitation which Lieutenant Campbell decline 11 'r Major Masson then struck him twice, and told him i f he , this persisted in his refusa, he would post him as a coward. at threat having availed, it was agreed that they should mect.‘r.
